Democratic Kayin Buddhist Association

Date: 14th November 2007

Announcement

The Democratic Kayin Buddhist Association made peace with the government to be able to serve the interests of Kayin national race and to build the unityof national races and it also participated in the National Convention.

We believe that the National Convention is only place where all political parties, groups representing national races and delegates from all walks of life can hold discussions most comprehensively. We also believe that the fundamental principles and detailed basic principles laid down at the National Convention represent the desires of all national races.

Therefore, we don’t accept the acts which do not recognize the basic principles laid down at the National Convention and those which can harm the implementation of the seven-step Road Map. We do not agree to a statement implying that an individual or a party will represent national races. As desires of all national races including DKBA were expressed at the National Convention, we will continue to support and to fully cooperate in the implementation of the seven-step Road Map.
